Looking stock firmware for SM-R805F

Hi everyone,
I just recently got a SM-R805N (Korea LTE ver) and want to change its region.
However the CSC variants in the stock only contains Korea telecom (as mentioned in the CSC thread by ecoco1)
I am trying to use the old fashion way: flash in the combination firmware, switch the CSC and then flash back to stock, in which, the CSC I am looking for is in SM-R805F version
However, I cannot find any free source for SM-R805F firmware online... all those available , also in this XDA forum, is only for bluetooth version.
Would anyone in XDA able to source the R805F firmware? (best to have both combination & stock?)
Thanks a million

Caution.
Since Gear S3 it is NO good idea to flash wrong Firmware nor wrong parts... to LTE variants...

Example:

Only as info.
Additional info...
Not tested what happens with CSC only... BUT be sure it is not less dangerous... because partition PIT is inside CSC and netOdin AUTOMATIC write this file to device...
Suggestion...
Study offline...
You can extract files with 7zip and compare...
rootfs.img needs some other Tools or Linux... or...

Thanks adfree, but its too late... I have already bricked my brand new galaxy watch...
Now the watch wont go into any mode below. All it does is have a flash of horizontally line screen, consistently.
continue
factory command
recovery
download (wireless)
Tried the method "press 2 seconds, release 1 second" does not work, think it corrupted the partition.
Only mode still work is "download" which shows the screen correctly. What make it worse is I reset the watch before doing this and forget to turn off activation lock (but I have my own user name and password, think that does not make it worse then?)
Appreciate if any idea on how to tackle this... am already thinking about buying the usb connector for odin flash...(hopefully something will make it work again...)

Suggestion, if you want try it self at home....
Look into this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78545468&postcount=74
Look into Video...
You can also click around this Thread... to see diffferent "solutions"...
Security prevent netOdin use... IMHO no way without USB to flash again.
If you have POGO Connector... Odin...
Then try FIRST to flash SM-R805N...
I see at this time it is not leaked...
So you need luck to flash SM-R805N Firmware...
Hopefully Warranty Void will still:
0 0x0000
Seems 3 SM-R805N Stock Firmware leaked:
Code:
R805NKOU1ARK8
R805NKOU1ARJ6
R805NKOU1ARHJ
You can PM me... if you need Help with POGO...
Best Regards

Sent you a pm thanks very much, i have not yet able to watch the video as im at work, but i think i need the items below:
R805N stock firmware
POGO Cable for usb connection
anything else would i need?

Thank you @deadman96385 for the firmware
Hi adfree, here is the photo of the "Download" screen
Now i need to get my hand on the cable to try it out...

Thanx for Photo. :good:
Good:
A
SM-R805N to see...
So sboot.bin is not overwritten...
B
Warranty void still 0 0x0000
So Knox not dripped... BUT you have to wait for final result after Repair Flash...
Not so good = IMHO bad...
Reactivation Lock is ON...
This means MORE f&%ing Security...
As "we" have only Stock Firmware...
If no luck then also Warranty Void Value will change... maybe.
P.S...
partition.pit aka PIT is 1:1 same between SM-R805F and SM-R805N... except the RSA 2048 Signature crap at the end of file.
Best Regards

thanks... I should be able to get the POGO wire mid next week, will update you the result....!

My Galaxy is back alive! Thanks everyone in this thread. Tested the following:
Install R805N firmware: Download mode: Works
Install R805F firmware:
Download mode: PIT fail instantly, without install
Download (Wireless): Able to complete the install -> Fail warning in red -> Bricked
Tried for combination firmware, or CSC only, same result
Guess I will never have chance to change my CSC then...? (Unless there is a combination R805N available which has all CSC countries inside?)

no i am not able to change, as mentioned above, the original firmware does not have other CSC included, flashing any other firmware will brick the watch

G975U and G975U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here

For those who aren't already aware, G975U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the S10+. The G975U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM unlocked and with no carrier bloatware. Firmware is 100% interchangeable among these models: any U or U1 firmware version can be flashed to any U or U1 device at any time, assuming that you're not trying to downgrade the bootloader. A "U to U" or "U1 to U1" flash does not require a factory reset, but changing from one firmware to the other will require one. Also, U firmware is identical for the 4 base files (AP, BL, CP, CSC) for each individual build, no matter which carrier it comes from. So if you download 2 different carrier versions of the exact same build, the 4 base files will be identical. Where the firmware differs is in the USERDATA file - that's where the carrier bloatware and customizations reside.
Manual Odin flashing is designed for those who:
- want to manually update to a newer version of U firmware on their U device, either because they don't want to wait for their carrier's OTA or because OTAs aren't working on their device, or a different carrier got a new feature/patch before they did
- want to flash U1 firmware to their U device
- want to convert from U1 firmware to carrier U firmware
- want to convert from one carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware) to a different carrier's U firmware (with all apps and bloatware)
For those who aren't already aware, anyone can now download firmware for almost any Samsung device any time that they want, via the various firmware download tools posted here on XDA like SamFirm or Frija. There are threads and info about them here on XDA so I won't waste time explaining - do a search if you're not already familiar with these tools. But they only provide whatever the latest/newest/current version is - nothing older. I pay for a subscription to a site that gets the official releases (usually) before they hit the firmware download tools, so that's where my files come from.
This is not a "beginner's guide to Odin flashing" -type post/thread, so I won't list basic, step-by-step flashing instructions. My threads are geared towards those who already know what they're doing. If you're new to manually flashing Samsung firmware (or haven't done it in a long time), I recommend you consult one of those "beginner's" guides- there are tons of them here on XDA.
Happy flashing!
U firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290649
U1 firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=290650
Notes:
- I compress extra small for space and bandwith savings. The default Windows extractor can't handle it, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like 7zip, WinRAR, etc
- I remove the .md5 from each file solely for faster flashing (Odin won't check the file integrity without it). Rest assured, the files are perfectly fine and safe - Odin has a million safechecks built in.
- My naming method for folders is: build - bootloader - Android version
So "SAT - 1 - 9.0" means the full build number ends in SAT, it's bootloader version 1, and it's Android 9.0. When bootloader and Android versions increment, the first build to have those changes will have its folder notated appropriately.
- HOME CSC file keeps data intact; using the other CSC will wipe data. Any zips with "wipe" in the title do not have a HOME CSC included.
- I have identical threads for the S10e and S10 as well
- the correct procedure for switching from one carrier's firmware to another is given in post #25
- You can get USERDATAs from SamFirm for everything but AT&T and Cricket- those files will never be on SamFirm. So in addition to the 5 piece firmware, I'll try to always upload one USERDATA per bootloader increment for those carriers.
- For identifying USERDATAS, and to know what region/CSC to use in the firmware download tools if you're downloading yourself:
AIO = Cricket (not available via firmware download tools)
ATT = AT&T (not available via firmware download tools)
BST = Boost Mobile
CCT = Xfinity Mobile (Comcast)
CHA = Spectrum Mobile (Charter)
SPR = Sprint
TMB = T-Mobile
TMK = Metro PCS
USC = US Cellular
VZW = Verizon
XAA = U1 firmware

This is looking great, was about to pre-order the T Mobile variant, when I remembered that they disable the (Data) Quick Toggle and I have to fiddle around to turn it off, Well, Not the case with the Unlocked version, at least on my Note 9. Anyways, this will come in handy, thanks!

Hopefully One UI stays the same. You're welcome

Good to see and will be a good place to hangout! ?

Loved your dedication to uploads on the 9+! Glad to see you here as well! I preodered my ATT 10+ yesterday. Got my mom and two daughters the 10+ / 10e also. Happy to see you'll be providing firmware for the "E" also!

Build SBA added.
Only CCT, VZW, and SPR USERDTAs (for now), but it can be flashed to any S10+

So I flashed this on my new U1 and went to U firmware. My Wifi didn't work after this. I can't connect to any Wifi network... I will try going back to U1 and see if the issue is fixed. Maybe I have a defective phone?

Hmmm that's weird. I'm assuming you wiped?

G975U and G975U1 firmware is now live and downloadable in SamFirm. Getting U1 requires manual entry - Auto will not work. U firmware is up for these carriers:
Xfinity Mobile
Spectrum Mobile
Sprint
T-Mobile
US Cellular
Verizon (have to use Manual entry - Auto will not work)
So going forward, I'll only be adding full builds if I can get them before they hit SamFirm, and only if there isn't build for that month already (eg. I won't add any more February builds since SBA is already up.). I will try to stay up to date on USERDATAs for AT&T and Cricket, since AT&T won't let their firmware be put on SamFirm.

Thank you for this. Just flashed my U1 to TMB SBA for video calling feature.

I have a question and I hope someone can help me. I just purchased a s10 not the plus. And its unlocked which is great but has three UK branding on boot up ect..,
Is it possible to remove this maybe install another rom via oden? And it wouldn't void warranty or enable a security problem on the phone? Any help would be much appreciated

Guessing ATT is late to the party as usual with no ASAB userdata yet? Doesn't appear they've pushed it yet ?

Anyone can flash any update - USERDATA isn't required unless you're changing from U1 to U, or from one carrier to another.

Ah ok. On my S9+ I did some Odin flashing and even though I was on the att release, I wasn't getting OTA's. It was odd. Only way to restore OTA updates was flashing with ATT userdata.
On a side note, ATT has pushed the ASAB update for both the S10+ and the S10E.

how to Update using ODIN

Hello
i don't know if this question was asked before i tried to search but nothing
i came from xperia xz and flashing was just as easy as downloading the FTF and flashing in flash mod
i bought my S9 that was stuck at 1 Dec 2018 software and no new updates are available (even with smart switch) to download so my best solution is to update it manually using ODIN
i used to have a galaxy gear watch and s5 and flashing was also simple but i came across a thread that said something about CSC Version and i am sacred that i may brick the phone while trying to update it
can someone point me in the right directions ?
my CSC : G960FOXM2CRLI
Service provider SW ver.
SAOMC_SM-G960F_OXM_KSA_PP_0002
KSA/EGY, EGY/XSG
baseband version
G960FXXU2CRLI
build number
PPR1.180610.011.G960FXXU2CRLI
and i live in egypt but the phone was sold is KSA if that's matters
any help please ?
thanks in advance

If there are no updated KSA firmwares for your S9, flash any CSC for the G960F, Germany (DBT ) has the latest June update

If you have KSA sim card need to flash KSA firmware with only Home CSC also and if you have EGY sim card and will come OTA downloads
KSA/KSA,KSA/XSG

Well yes you need CSCs to match for OTA, but it is not necessary for normal usage, once my region releases the latest update I will flash back for OTA

so it's normal to flaash any firmware even if the CSC doesn't match? only the phone model number right? flashing on ODIN like thr normal way kust like the s5? nothing else need to be done ? like enabling/disabling stuff on developper options ? OEM unlock? sorry for my noobies questions

Normal if your own region CSC has not updated their firmware yes, but you will not receive OTA updates until the CSCs match and will have to flash manually each update
There is a big thread about it so I'm not going to go into it in detail here, quick search should find what you need
Nothing else needed, boot to download mode and flash with Odin 3.13.1

How to change CSC region

Hi to all.
Last week I got A50. During first boot of system I didnt inserted SIM card ant it seems that it triggered installing firmware for diferent region. Im located in Serbia but firmware is for Turkey and I have many apps on turkish language without posibility to change language in those apps.
Is any method to change CSC?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, no answer yet. Maybe to precise my question,
Could someone tell me which files I need to use to change my current CSC Turkey to lets say Israel CSC ILO.
I suppose it could be done with Odin but which versions of firmware...
Thanks

Did you learn how to do?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Nope, Im totaly disapointed in comunity in section for model A50. There is no answers, there is no tutorials, there is no custom roms except two of them, and I will probably sell this phone.
Regards
Sent from my SM-A505F using Tapatalk

you should download https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/SM-A505F/TUR/download/A505FDDU4BTC9/330469/ this version, and use odin to flash it in your phone. Keep the sim in the phone for the process, because with that it will verify you are in turkey.
Although in odin the process may work if you use the HOME_CSC file to keep the data of your phone intact, i would suggest using the other file, because with that you'll have a fresher device

Question A52s 5G (SM-A528B) Debranding

Hello is there any free way to debrand Samsung A52s on Android 12 One UI 4.0? I also dont want to trigger the KNOX flag. My current CSC is PRT (Poland (Play)) and I want to make it XEO (Poland). I already tried some methods with phone call codes and none of them work. Is there any way to do this?

If by debranding you mean removing bloatware and changing your bootanimation etc, just root your phone and do those things. You'll easily be able to find tutorials on how to do all that for your device.
Now, if by debranding you mean that you want a stock android feel, then sorry but your device doesn't have any custom Android development, so you can't install a stock/custom ROM.

By debranding I mean get full stock Samsung firmware which CSC code is XEO, and my current CSC code (PRT) and both are in OXM - multi-CSC so I need to change the CSC code, but tools that can do that are paid, like SamKey so is there any free way

I don't have much experience with oneui Samsung devices, so I've got no idea, sorry.

There is nothing about how to do it just link to ADB

Then there's probably no free way to do what you're trying to do. Also in that post the person claims to have the same csc code as you (prt), and samkey did not work for him.

@Raflen100 Hello! Have the same problem as you: purchased a carier SM-A528 whitout realising the consequences and am no bugged by the super slow updates. I think i am on the same OXM firmware as you. Want from DTM to DBT. My attempt to simply flash DBT and then use dialer codes to switch the CSC failed all.
SAMkey is no option for me, as i don't have any idea about the background and don't want to ;-).
Also: don't want to trigger KNOX.
Since i use a different carrier, i just want a stock SAMSUNG and don't have to wait for weeks for my updates.
If you found a way in the meantime, that would be good news.

@Raflen100 Hello! Have the same problem as you: purchased a carier SM-A528 whitout realising the consequences and am no bugged by the super slow updates. I think i am on the same OXM firmware as you. Want from DTM to DBT. My attempt to simply flash DBT and then use dialer codes to switch the CSC failed all.

Actually, there is a way that was created in the meantime. Around may 2022, developers of samfw.com created the SamFw Tool. It can change the csc of phone through ADB without root, so it does not trip KNOX or wipe data, which is awesome. It worked for me really well. Just make sure to use the non-root CSC change.

Hope it helps.

Hello @Raflen100, thank you very much. That looks actually very interesting. I currently seem to be not able to find a version without malware, but i'll keep it on my watch list. Can you accidentally tell from experience, that the [provider] CSC change work without need for rooting? My impression so far is that the provider CSC can not be overwritten by flashing, even after having removed the filesystem, so may be stored somewhere else? Or is the SAMSUNG server telling it to the phone, based on it's IMEI?

You can download it from the link I gave you, it's the official post so no malware.
Yes, it does not have any need for rooting your phone.
Answer to your question is very simple, samsung has multi-CSC roms, so flashing one or another won't change anything on the newer phones. There still are single CSC roms, but there are really few of them. And yes, I think it's based on IMEI, because you can't change the entry for the factory CSC, it will always remain there, but you can change the current CSC of the software just by using this tool.

Brilliant, i got it now, thank you for pointing this out. It clicked for me when you wrote "current" CSC. I'll try.
